Acuña and the others couldn't help but pick up the spoon and taste it when they saw Felisa eating so well, this taste couldn't be contained, and the three of them all gobbled it up regardless of the image, fortunately, Guo Zhiyuan was well prepared, and the food was served continuously, and finally Acuña and the others couldn't eat it anymore before they stopped.

Archbishop Miguel put down his spoon, drew a cross on his chest and exclaimed: "Thank God for giving us such delicious food......

Moga also touched his round belly and couldn't help but sigh: "Yes, it's really delicious, it reminds me of the biological human cook before me, it's a pity......"

Acuña hurriedly coughed dryly, Moga realized that something was wrong, and quickly closed his mouth, although Acuña also felt that today's dinner was delicious, but he always remained vigilant, Guo Zhiyuan would definitely not invite them to dinner for no reason, and he was still secretly sneering in his heart, Guo Zhiyuan would not be naïve to think that a meal of food could buy them to make concessions, right?

Guo Zhiyuan wanted such an effect, so when Acuña and the others put down the spoon, he smiled and said, "Your Excellency the Governor, Moga. Your Excellency Judge, Bishop Miguel, you see, the same thing is made with different effects because of our differences in food culture, so I think that confrontation will only damage the interests of both of us, and only by putting aside prejudices, strengthening exchanges, and communicating with each other will we make our country progress and development together, and arrogance and prejudice will not solve any problems, but will only make things worse......"

After listening to Guo Zhiyuan's words, Acuña and the others also exchanged glances thoughtfully, Guo Zhiyuan's words still touched them, making them think of the benefits of trade with China before, and finally Acuña thought about it and said: "Okay, we can make concessions, and we can promise ......you the fourth and fifth points you put forward."

Acuña also calculated, and Guo Zhiyuan's fourth request was returned to last year's Manila University. Slaughter. The bones of the Daming merchants killed in the killing, and the funeral for them if they could not find the complete bones, was still easy for them to do, not only retaining the face of the Spaniards, but also indirectly apologizing to the Chinese, and buying people's hearts.

As for Article 5 to severely punish the culprits who killed innocent people indiscriminately last year, Acuña also thought about it, and of course he could not have taken part in the massacre. The Spanish officer who killed him handed it over, and when the time came, he only needed to find a few scapegoats from the indigenous Filipinos and hand them over to Guo Zhiyuan.

Therefore, Acuña seems to have made concessions, but he has avoided talking about Guo Zhiyuan's core demands that the first one apologize for the unprovoked massacre of Ming businessmen doing business in Manila last year and make corresponding compensation, and the third one is to return the seized property of the Ming businessmen who were killed and imprisoned last year and compensate them for the losses they have suffered. Of course, Guo Zhiyuan could not agree, shook his head and said: "Your Excellency the Governor, I think your sincerity is not enough, you must know that the conditions offered by the Dutch to establish mutual relations with our country are far more sincere than the conditions you just promised......

Acuña's face changed when he heard this, and he said, "Are you threatening me with the Dutch?" We Spanish warriors are never afraid of threats! ......" After speaking, she brushed her sleeves away angrily, and when Felisa saw that her father had quarreled with Guo Zhiyuan again, she glanced at Guo Zhiyuan with some embarrassment, and hurriedly chased after her.

Moga and Miguel glanced at each other, shrugged their shoulders and prepared to leave, but Guo Zhiyuan stopped them, Guo Zhiyuan had already learned from those imprisoned Chinese prisoners that Moga and Miguel still have a lot of say in Philippine affairs, Acuña will first ask for their opinions when making major decisions, and Guo Zhiyuan also heard that Acuña and Moga have a competitive relationship, and they are not in harmony, although Miguel seems to be very detached on the surface, and rarely directly interferes in the affairs of the colonial government, but in fact, he also has his own calculations, Now that Acuña is stubborn, he naturally has to think of a way from these two, as long as the internal opinions of the Spaniards are divided, then Acuña will have to make concessions no matter how stubborn he is.

Guo Zhiyuan stood up and smiled politely at Moga and Miguel: "Two adults, can I say a few words to you alone?" It only takes a few minutes, so it won't take too much time for two of you......"

Moga and Miguel hesitated, it was obviously inappropriate to contact the representatives of the negotiating countries in private during the negotiations between the two countries, although Moga and Acuña were a little disagreeable, but they were still not confused about this general principle, and hesitated for a moment: "If it is about negotiations, I don't think we have anything to talk about, and the opinion of His Excellency the Governor will represent our opinion......"

Guo Zhiyuan was not discouraged by Moga's refusal, and said with a smile: "If the two of you also think that war is the only and best way to resolve the dispute between our two countries, then I have nothing to say, if you don't think so, then our conversation may have a very positive impact on the future of our two countries, and I don't think you want the two of you to affect the future of the country because of the stubbornness of His Excellency the Governor......

Mo Jia actually wanted to hear what Guo Zhiyuan had to say to him, so he just borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, nodded and said, "Okay, Your Excellency the Governor is indeed a little stubborn......

Guo Zhiyuan nodded to Miguel, motioned for him to wait a while, and then made a gesture of invitation to Moga, took Moga to another room, and said with a slight smile: "Big. Your Excellency, you have a prestige and position in Manila second only to His Excellency the Governor of Acuña, and if you can bring us through this negotiation and save the Spanish citizens of Manila from the war, you will certainly be able to raise your prestige to a higher level......"

Mo Jia interrupted Guo Zhiyuan without waiting for him to finish speaking, and said coldly: "I do have different political views with His Excellency Acuña, but if you think that you can use the contradiction between me and him to achieve your goal, I have the same idea as him in this matter, your request is too much, we can't pay you compensation!" No Spanish citizen would agree to such an impudent request! ……”

Moga's attitude seems to be very tough, but Guo Zhiyuan heard a turning point from his words, Moga does not agree to the compensation, it is okay to apologize by the end of the word, as for the compensation, Guo Zhiyuan also knows that it must be very difficult to let the Spaniards spit out the fat that has been swallowed in the stomach, so he smiled slightly: "Big. Your Excellency, please listen to me, what we need is for your country to have a clear attitude on this matter, so an apology is necessary, and as for compensation, if your country cannot come up with the money for the time being, we can change the plan and use the trade tax collected by Manila with our merchants in the future to offset the ......"
